Since I've already run down some of the worst paint schemes in NASCAR history, I'd like to share with you what I think are some of the best. If you don't agree with my choices, feel free to post a comment below. Better yet, post a picture of what you think is the best in our reader forums.

Bobby Allison’s Miller High Life Buick

I love this car I was always a fan of Bobby Allison, and because the late 80s Buick Regals just looked cool in their NASCAR clothes.

Smoke’s Swagger machine

This scheme somehow manages to be both understated and gaudy.

Mountain Dew schemes

When Mountain Dew sponsors a car full-time, the paint scheme is often rather dull, consisiting of only green and white. When they do special schemes, however, they come up with some really colorful stuff.

NASCAR teams and sponsors don't get very excited about Christmas when it comes to paint schemes. I guess they figure since there are no Sprint Cup races in December, it's just not worth the trouble. In spite of this fact, there have been a few yuletide color changes over the years. I put every one I could find after the jump.

Everybody loves to decorate for Halloween, even NASCAR teams. Well, not all teams - mostly just those sponsored by M&M'S and, occasionally, Coors, although there have been a few exceptions over the years. Photos below. Last image NSFW!

It's like when your girlfriend dyes her hair. All of the sudden you feel like you're dating a different woman. Like you're cheating, only you're not, because it's still her. It's hot. You're into it. You think about taking her to the costume shop to see what it has in the way of cheerleader, Princess Leia and Sarah Palin outfits. You're like, "Yes. I didn't know I wanted this. But I do."

What was I talking about? Oh yeah, specialty paint schemes. The kids over at The Bleacher Report recently put together a list of the top 15 specialty paint schemes in NASCAR. It's a good list. As you might guess, Earnhardt cars are all over it.
